What exactly is a ROM?

Does it stand for something? I have seen many "cooked ROMs" available for various phones but I still dont have a concept of what a ROM actually is. Can somebody give me an explaination? This is something that I have not been able to really understand.
Thank you!

its basically a way to modify files normally UN modifiable. such as the framework allows you to change it to crate a special theme. anyone can make their own ROM(not the same as the ones provided) by adding and removing things they want or dont want from the stock build. its a matter of time skill and the guts to try new things.

I would love to root my droid but I just don't possess the skills to do it I wonder if a computer repair store could do it for me?
